5th gen shaking when accelerating

So I'm pretty confident that it's the right side inner joint, the transmission one.

Any ideas where I could get it, or a whole driveshaft set? Both discontinued / not being sold anymore

Could I scavenge accord typeR driveshafts, are they compatible?

EDIT:

Also found some cheap shafts on ebay from 'murica land

Anyone got a spare driveshaft and could measure it for me? I would be really glad if someone took 5mins of their time to do it

I bought my drive shaft's from rockauto. Shipping was fast and if you get some other stuff at the same time the prices are reasonable.

Are you satisfied with them? I'm kinda worried about the quality..

I am, they seem fine though I've only done a few thousand with them to date.

Think vanzep has measured the ATR ones and there was a difference of around 10mm or less from what memory serves.

The gearbox inner cv can also be found on eBay separately.

Are you sure? I tried multiple search keywords and found nothing..

OK, I saw those but they are for the 4th gen.
I realize the engines and trannies were likely the same on 4th and 5th gen, but are these joints also the same / compatible?

Assuming you have vtec manual 5th gen:

The ebay shaft youve shown is the passenger side one - you need the drivers side inner cv joint like this one https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-CV-Axle-Sh ... 100623.m-1
On manual gearbox preludes the drivers side inner cv has a male shaft and spline section that fits into the gearbox - the passenger side shaft has a female fitting that goes onto the spline that comes off the intermediate shaft - hope that makes sense

The ATR shafts are slightly shorter than 4th gen shafts if i remember right - and i think the 5th gen shaft/outer cv is slightly longer so not sure about using ATR ones......

Ive also found that some of the aftermarket outer cv joints have a shorter spline than oem - that is on 4th gens though and i couldnt say for sure about 5th gens.

I do have a 4th gen passenger side inner cv joint and the 3 square bearings if you want to stick with oem.
Most likely its one of the bearings has failed as this is most common issue but you would have to take the drive shaft out and take it apart to find out.
